The Guntersville Project


Book Description

This report on the Guntersville project, like the companion reports published on other construction projects completed by the Tennessee Valley Authority, is intended to give the engineering profession and general public facts about the planning, design, construction, and initial operations of the Guntersville project. The report, compiled from construction data and final records contained in the Authority's files, is restricted to the more important facts concerning the development and construction of the project.




The Cherokee Project


Book Description

Cherokee is the tenth major hydro project authorized for construction of the Tennessee Valley Authority and the seventh to be completed. The dam is located at mile 52.3 on the Holston River which unites with the French Broad River just above Knoxville to form the Tennessee River. This main tributary project was the first of several TVA dams authorized under World War II emergency program and constructed on an emergency basis. Although operated primarily for power during the war emergency, Cherokee forms an integral unit in the overall system of water control projects in the Tennessee Valley, and under normal multiple purpose operation aids in reducing main-river flood stages and in stabilizing low water flows.




The Norris Project


Book Description

This report is published for the purpose of giving to the engineering profession the important and useful facts about the planning and construction of the Norris Dam and Reservoir on the Clinch River, in eastern Tennessee, by the Tennessee Valley Authority, an agency of the United States Government.




The Wheeler Project


Book Description

This report is published for the purpose of giving to the engineering profession and others interested in river-control projects the important and useful facts about the planning and construction of the Wheeler Dam and Reservoir in northern Alabama, and constructed by the Tennessee Valley Authority, an agency of the United States Government.










The Chickamauga Project


Book Description

Technical Report No. 6, the Chickamauga Project, is published by the Tennessee Valley Authority to give to those interested in the development facts concerning the planning, design, construction, and initial operation of the project.
